Description
~ We are the leader in the renewable energy sector and operate in Europe, Americas, Asia, Oceania and Africa. Thanks to innovative energy technologies we produce solar, wind, hydro and geothermal energy. ~
Is it possible to combine business and the needs of stakeholders, produce energy and reduce and mitigate environmental impact all at the same time? Yes. The path to reaching these objectives, traditionally considered contradictory and irreconcilable, depends on one concept: sustainability integrated into business.
Producing clean energy with renewable sources is just the first step on our path towards a new sustainable model of development, construction and operation of our plants.
Each day, we work to create shared value in the contexts we are part of. We aim to combine the pursuit of our industrial goals with a concrete contribution to the socio-economic development of the area, with a long-term perspective and through the construction of stable and positive relationships.
Enel Green Power's presence in the world, our industrial strategy, investments and partnerships to create innovation, the way we develop, build and manage our plants all correspond with a unified vision of the present and future.
